Help!
Batterie issue
Hello everyone, I bought my godson the 1/18 Torment 4WD Short Course Truck RTR. The batteries last for 10 min and need a 9hr charge. That is no fun. He loves the car but 10min? I was looking into more powerful batteries. Horizon hobby said that the speedpack 1200 is the strongest you can get for the car and it would only give you a couple of minutes more run time. Currently, it runs on a 6-cell 900mAh NiMH battery. Unfortunately, the batteries are small and lined up vertically not horizontal like the speed pack 5000 one.
My question is, is there a stronger battery out there where he can at least drive for 30 min? Horizon hobby also mentioned that it might be possible to transform the car for a Lipo batterie. Is it doable? Is it worth it? Who can do it? Thanks for your feedback. |

Consider multiple batteries and a better charger.
Keep in mind that longer run times will increase heat, possibly damaging components. At the very least, I'd gear down a little. |

Something like this:
